Yesterday, in Cambridge, I questioned Mr. Rahul Gandhi on his statement that "India is not a nation but a Union of States". He asserted that India is not a nation but the result of negotiation between states. (His complete response will be shared once uploaded by organisers)

On Saturday, I was at Montfort Inter College, Mahanagar, Lucknow, to speak to the students on leadership. Students of various Montfort Schools from Delhi, Roorkee, Bhopal, Mandla etc were present. The session drew upon some of my experiences from professional and public life, with discussion around leadership, decision-making and working with people. Continuing engagement between the school, its students and the alumni community remains important. The work continues..

There are no words that can describe the pain and the void left behind by the untimely passing of my beloved father, @DrRKVermaLko. He was not just a surgeon, but a true nationalist, a philosopher, and a man who dedicated his life to the selfless service of others. He never strayed from the path of Dharma, and his integrity, compassion, and unwavering commitment to his principles inspired countless lives. A father is the only person in the world who genuinely wishes to see his son surpass him. There can be no greater loss for a son than losing such a father. His values, his philosophy, and his life's work will continue to guide our family and, I hope, continue to inspire society in the years to come. We are deeply grateful to everyone who stood with us, prayed for him, and supported our family during this difficult time.

काशी की पावन भूमि, बनारस हिंदू विश्वविद्यालय में आयोजित प्रवासी भारतीय समाज — संस्कृति, भाषा और संबंध विषयक अंतर्राष्ट्रीय संगोष्ठी में सहभागिता का सौभाग्य प्राप्त हुआ। भारत की वैश्विक आकांक्षाओं और रणनीतिक हितों में प्रवासी भारतीय समाज की निर्णायक भूमिका पर अपने विचार रखे — और यह स्पष्ट किया कि हमारे प्रवासी भारतीय केवल विदेश में बसा एक समुदाय नहीं, बल्कि एक जीवंत सभ्यता की वैश्विक उपस्थिति हैं। वैश्विक भारतीय ज्ञान और नवाचार networks के निर्माण का आह्वान किया — और इस बात पर बल दिया कि अंतर्राष्ट्रीय मंचों पर भारत के हितों के लिए प्रवासी समाज को एक स्वर में, एकजुट होकर global advocacy का नया युग आरंभ करना होगा। Had the privilege of speaking at an International Conference on Diaspora Relations, Culture and Language at the historic Banaras Hindu University. Spoke on the significance of the Indian Diaspora for India's global aspirations and strategic interests — and why our 3.5 crore plus strong diaspora is not just a community abroad, but a civilisational force. Called upon the need to build global Indian knowledge and innovation networks, and for the diaspora to speak in one unified voice on international forums — ushering in a new age of global advocacy for India's interests. Also present on stage were Shri Pravin Nishad, former MP (Lok Sabha), Shri Brijesh Pandey and Shri Arvind Pandey who tirelessly worked for organizing this event #PravasiBharatiya #IndianDiaspora #BHU #BaranasHinduUniversity #GlobalIndia #Viksit Bharat2047

महान क्रांतिकारी 'स्वातंत्र्यवीर' विनायक दामोदर सावरकर की जयंती पर उन्हें शत-शत नमन! 🙏🙏

Many people are saying this on X. But Why? Disputes and arguments are normal in any relationship. Should divorce be so easy that repairable relationships get broken for good? Have you considered the impact on children, custody battles etc?
